Classic Meursault - hazelnut, spiced apples / pears, minerality. Not the most complex example, but excellent village wine.

Life in the fast lane... Racy acidity integrated oak, opulent fruit. But the bank isn't quite broken yet.

2011. As Burgundy prices from the greatest producers will inevitably continue to rise, we'll have to reevaluate producers we'd written off in the past. While not sensational or game-changing, this was typical, well-made Meursault, not obscured by oak, ripeness or winemaking.

Absolutely lovely. Gentle but full with lemon, cream, light citrus or tangerine, and mineral.

Leflaive. What can you say? It was tasty - I am partial to Meursault. Acidic in a good way. Biggest issue was lacking finish.
